Anti-alpha-sarcoglycan antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the alpha-sarcoglycan antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the SGCA gene, which encodes sarcoglycan alpha. This protein is known to function in muscle organ development, among other biological roles. The human version of alpha-sarcoglycan has a canonical amino acid length of 387 residues and a protein mass of 42.9 kilodaltons, although 2 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm of cells. Other names for this target antigen include 50DAG, ADL, and DAG2. Indicated applications for alpha-sarcoglycan antibodies listed below include ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunoprecipitation.
